Hybrid Bulks were in the plan, so I order Revo Spec diffs to rob the intrals from.
When I opened the Diffs, I see that Traxxas has changed the bearing sizes. The Ring side bearing is much bigger and beefier now. So the Intrals won't fit the bulks.
I've always found the Arms and the Shock Towers to be the weak. Thus RPM replacements for those.
Yes, I agree. The Stock shocks need to go. They are on the list for replacement.
I've been debating on motor choice.
Linc, remember that 36-60-1500kv Medusa motor that I got from you?
How would that work in this? Gear it for about 50mph and put it on 8S?
PS............How's things been treating you there in Slidell?

The 36/60 would be too small, that is a good buggy motor, IMO. The big wheels and tires will put too much load on it, plus i doubt this truck will be light.
The hybrid bulks use ofna or similar diffs.
Rpm arms and towers are a good idea, especially if you are using al bulks.
I think truggy front shocks would be the way to go, need something around 4 inches long if memory serves me correctly.
Slidell is fine, pissing down rain right now. Still working on all of my projects, save for rc...
